Tips to reduce your dog’s anxiety when you leave the house:
- try taking your dog for a walk before you leave
- turn the radio or television on for company
- always leave your dog with plenty of stimulating toys, chews and mind games - a treasure hunt using treats can work well

REMEMBER that positive reinforcement is the key to a well-behaved pooch. Reward your dog for good behaviour, be consistent, and get the whole family on board. Ignore - and never punish - the undesirable behaviour.

A dog’s vision is different to that of a human. They have better vision than us during low-light, cannot see as well at a distance or up close, and see objects better when they are moving. Your dog may be able to see the ball fine when it is in motion but once it has stopped may not be able to see it as well. Remember these facts when you are interacting with your dog or pointing an object out to him/her.

So your pet is microchipped - but is the chip up to date? Now's the perfect time to check that the contact details assigned to your pet's microchip are accurate. A microchip is useless if the phone number on the database is disconnected or no longer exists! If you don't know your pet's microchip number, ask us to scan it for you.
